That one turn-off

Lately it's been white skin,but as far as features go it really all just depends on what it's being paired with,so it's hard to narrow down.

 

I only have a couple, but they are major turn offs for me and I am incredibly picky about them.

- Childish faces on mature bodies. Just... Those dolls that look like baby faces with huge curvy bodies and adult breasts totally make me shudder.

- Mature faces on childish bodies. Just like my distaste for things the other way round, I really can't stand these mature, often very womanly looking heads on bodies that look like under developed children. I just can't like it, it kina creeps me out.

- Overly exaggerated thigh gaps. Don't like it at all in real life, utterly detest it in dolls, especially the female ones.

- Doll breasts. Yes I meant to put that as a general thing. I used to find it so hard to like female dolls enough to want one and I always wanted those really curvy, busty dolls. Now though, I find myself only wanting smaller busted dolls. But they have to be sculpted right. No matter what size they are there has to be no weird round lumps, no oh I'll just chuck this on as an after thought, no look at me I just had plastic surgery boobs... I could go on and on but yeah the boobs have to be done right.

- Unshapely hands or feet. They just have to be sculpted with definition and care. I like my dolls hands and feet to look as pretty as the rest of the doll.

- Penis's. Yep I totally said it. Just as some people who I've read before, the whole lump in place of a penis, or tiny penis on a majorly manly body, especially if it's an I'll defined one just doesn't work for me. I keep my dolls dressed at all times, but if so ,such effort is going to be put into making a big, manly sculpt, then work on ALL parts of that manly body!

Um that's all I can think so that must be it, but yeah that all really bugs me so bad.

Does it have to be one? Haha, I have a list.

1. Elf Ears. I have several dolls that were sculpted with elf ears and I have had their ears sanded to human. I can't stand elf ears.
2. Vampire Teeth - so I don't own any vampire dolls
3. Chihuahua eyes. Chihuahuas freak me out, so when dolls are bug eyed, it creeps me out. Plus I hate the too big eyes look. The "deer in headlights" stare. Worst offenders? Minifee Ryeon and Dollga Noella.
4. White Skin. Once exception to this is my mnf/unoa hybrid and the mnf body is white skin. I tolerate it for him. Normal skin all the way here.

 

1) chocolate square abs, many companies give abs to their male dolls especially hound but why do they must look like a bar of chocolate....so square and so.....square
2) water balloon boobs, why do they must be like that, if for all it's a big boobed dolls i want her boobs to be nicely curved not just two half sphere stuck on the torson
3) lack of muscle detail on the face or body, i found a lot of chinese company have this problem where the face is so flat with this super sharp chin that can pierce through your soul
4) body being too stocky... as in square shoulder and really thick wrist and knees

 

It's not as perverted as it sounds but adult male dolls with a tiny bump for a penis. It just disturbs me. Dolls should look good naked too.

 

I love these threads, because they show the diversity in bjd collectors! Some of the turn-offs people have listed are my favourite doll features!

My biggest turn off is little baby starfish shaped hands on a doll that looks over two years old. I was so glad 5Star changed to bigger, more detailed hands on their yosds before I bought my Amy.

I skip straight past anything with anime features. I won't buy French resin. No boobs that look like two halves of a rockmelon! And no fangs painted on lips.

All this said, I can often enjoy looking at other people's dolls with these things, I'd just not consider buying them myself.

 

Finally thought of a more specific turn off. Bulgy veins! Even on people they make me a bit uncomfortable. xP

 

Well, not to say I have one, a couple certainly

- Large, wide open eyes. Urgh, creepy >< Have a doll that used to have unnaturally wide eyes, they have been modded to be more in proportion to an actual human face. Eyes do not open wide enough to engulf cheekbones.
- Torso jointing that is directly under the bust. Since when does a human bend there? Its unnatural, and to me quite horrid. I will happily go around testing on hybridising dolls to avoid it - which is quite a challenge I've found with MiniFees ><
- Pudgy, childish faces on dolls that do not have pudgy, childish bodies. A clearly teenage body with a childlike face? Nope, no. Get that with some tinies, it doesn't work ><

Obviously, personal no-nos, I know I've seen other people's dolls with these and have liked what they have done with them. But owning them myself, brr, no.

 

There are a few for me too:

- white skin - I don't really want to have porcelain-like dolls, although I do like seeing them with beautiful face-ups and in amazing clothes!
- crooked nose - I've just seen a quite nice doll but that super-long nose discourages me from even putting him onto wish list.
- unnaturally big breasts - curvy and mature dolls are okay, but not these. ><

 

A common one I've seen is the boys with muscled abdomens but you can still see their ribs, and I agree with that so hard... My AoD boy has a pretty nice torso and I like it a lot EXCEPT for his ribs...

Super thick eye wells and huge ears are pet peeves on a head... As far as bodies go I don't like super odd looking robot joints and hands that are basically a clump of resin with some indentions in it. I don't mean when the fingers are simply in a closed/touching position, touching fingers are fine as long as there's still detail and proportion, I mean when there's barely any detail at all and the hands look like thick shovels...

 

Biggest turn off for me is eyes too close to each other.

Second is "clunky" body - torso where joints aren't smooth (like the pieces were not quite fitting right).

 

For some reason I don't like when a doll has an open mouth.

 

right off the bat i'd have to say i dont like smaller girl dolls with HUGE boobs.
Like MSD sized girls can look like adults but most have small child like faces
and just...+ big boobs? noo thank you.

 

I've got a whole list, many of which have been mentioned here already.

Too large eyes.
Ski-jump noses (except on my Rosen-he rocks his!)
Flat-cheeked faces with no definition and no discernible jaw-line.
Shovel hands
Lump feet
Too close eyes
Noses that are set too high between the eyes-this is huge for me, it occurs in a lot of Chinese dolls and they look totally freaky to me. Limwha also did it in her tinies and it ruined them for me.
Melon/bouncy ball breasts
Bad engineering-I had to customize the lower torso joint on my Doll Family H body with PVC pipe, because there was no interior insert to stabilize it and every time you turned the joint, the whole doll would collapse at the waist. I don't ask my dolls to be gymnasts, but I do think they should be engineered well enough to stand firmly and sit easily erect without leaning back. Many of my much loved crew are lacking in this department, so I'm pickier about new dolls.
Face/body maturity match. Absolutely! With particular emphasis on the part that I find bodies labeled as 7 or 10 year old with breasts, no matter how vestigal, disturbing in the extreme. I've seen a couple that I liked otherwise that I would have had to sand down to be able to live with. I also don't like dolls of that age range that are done up as sexy.
Huge, bulging veins everywhere-it's the fashion now I know, and I don't mind subtle veining, particularly on the hands, but some of these muscle men look like their blood pressure is through the roof and they're about to stroke out.

 

I must say the over-whelming abundance of child-like boyish faces on 70cm boys is annoying, as is the insistence of childish faces w/mature bodies on certain MSDs.... I do NOT like the big head or the big hip trend at all either.
As for clothes, thank GOODNESS I sew. Floofy frilly lace encrusted - & that's just the boys' stuff LOL
However my biggest peeve is how some people love to just constantly demand that 'these are just toys' blah blah blah. I'm thinking giving a child a piece of poisonous resin to play with might constitute child abuse...

 

Weird/bukly/unshaped hands.
Orange tan skin tone.
There are others, but those are the most glaring doll turn-offs I have. Hands will literally sell the doll to me. I could love a sculpt from here to the moon but if the hands are boring and not even remotely delicate, I won't go for it.

 

Oh - eyes that are too far apart for my liking! I had the most gorgeous doll, but I could not get over her eyes. You couldn't tell in the promo photos that they were like that. So even though she really was stunning I ended up selling her. I just kept thinking she looked like a lizard

 

I love really widely-spaced eyes! I think it's a reaction to finding people with close-set eyes creepy. Luckily it's not something I've seen in bjds, but I do sometimes see it in other dolls and it gives me the heebie jeebies!

 

I'm not a fan of big busts, but mostly just for aesthetic reasons. And it's easier to dress a flat chested body, ahaha. The big thing that gets me though is "same face" sculpts. I feel like a lot of Soom head sculpts look the same in their Gem line, which is a bummer because I adore their fantasy parts.

 

I really don't like seeing narrow noses, like, too narrow to look natural. To me dolls with those noses look really creepy, and sometimes the rest of their features aren't balanced with that nose. Like big eyes or large lips.
